The Bryn

The plan of the house was altered in the C19 but the original plan can be conjectured. The main entrance probably opened to the larger R-hand room, which had a stair at the rear, and parlour to the L, therefore still in the vernacular tradition. The well-preserved broad, full-height dog-leg stair has moulded newels and plain balusters. The ground floor was altered in the C19 when a corridor was created from the entrance in the gable end, with elliptical arch leading into the R-hand room. A narrow corridor led from the original entrance and both corridors converged at the stair. Most windows have C19 panelled reveals. Of 3 roof trusses visible, one has a dovetailed collar beam.

A 2½-storey 3-bay Queen Anne house with later Georgian remodelling, of pebble-dashed stone walls, painted white to the front, steep slate roof and pebble-dashed end stacks. The central doorway has replacement French doors with wooden shutters. It is flanked by tripartite windows with replacement 2-pane sashes. A hipped veranda across the entire front has renewed polygonal wooden posts, slate roof to the sides and glazed roof in the centre. The upper storey has 12-pane sash windows, hornless in the centre, and tripartite hornless sashes in the outer bays. A broad central gable has a small-pane round-headed attic window, flanked by 3-light roof dormers added in the 1940s. On the L side is a 1-storey projection, partly built into the veranda, and in the L gable end is a replacement attic window on the L side.

The veranda is wrapped around the R angle, to a C19 pebble-dashed porch, which has a replacement panel door. Above it is a 12-pane hornless sash window. Further R is Little Bryn and on the opposite side of the rear is Bryn Canol, both formerly service wings but now separate dwellings. Between them is the stair turret, which has a 12-pane horizontal-sliding sash to the upper landing, and a fixed 6-pane window to the lower landing.
